Ghosts of Rural Devon

The moors are vast, the bogs are deep, and the dead are waiting.

Rural Devon is a county of terrifying contrasts. It boasts some of the most beautiful, idyllic coastline in England, hiding a dark history of ruthless smugglers and deadly maritime disasters. Inland, the landscape gives way to the immense, crushing isolation of Dartmoor and Exmoor—vast expanses of freezing, trackless bogs and ancient, twisted forests where the folklore of demon hounds and witchcraft is treated as terrifying fact. In a landscape this isolated, the past doesn't just fade away. It lingers in the mist.

In Ghosts of Rural Devon, you will step off the safe paths and into the terrifying supernatural shadows of the West Country. This chilling collection documents the terrifying "stone tape" echoes, aggressive poltergeists, and ancient Celtic spirits reported by modern hikers, terrified pub landlords, and dark tourism explorers.

Venture into the fog and discover:

• Berry Pomeroy Castle: The terrifying, ruined fortress where the aggressive "White Lady" physically paralyzes modern visitors with sudden, freezing cold spots.
• The Hairy Hands of Dartmoor: The stretch of desolate road where survivors report massive, disembodied hands violently grabbing their steering wheels.
• Slapton Sands: The devastating D-Day rehearsal site where the phantom, glowing figures of young soldiers are still seen pulling themselves from the surf.
• Jay's Grave: The lonely, tragic crossroads burial site where mysterious, fresh flowers appear every single morning without fail.

Perfect for fans of British history, dark tourism, and true paranormal encounters, this book pulls back the veil on the deepest, darkest terrors of Devon.

Stick to the path. And never walk the moors after dark.
